I really like making art out of things that I usually throw away. I looked through my recycling bin and decided to collect plastic bottle caps and make something out of them. I have a really bare wall in my room, so I decided to turn them into a wall decoration.

Loving the different shapes and sizes.
I painted them a colour I already used throughout my room.
I like to pretend they're planets.

To stick them to the wall, I'd suggest using either pins, sticky tack or tape. I think I'll end up adding more caps to my wall, I really like how it looks. I also read that most places don't even allow plastic bottle caps to be recycled.

P.S. I was amazed by all the other things people have turned plastic bottle caps into, after Google searching it.

i love this idea! where i live you cannot recycle bottle caps but ive been saving mine for a while and i have so so many! i need to start getting crafty with them! thanks for the good idea. i just couldnt let myself throw them in the garbage! :)

Wow, that is so cool and clever. What a simple way to add texture to a wall without over doing it. I love the wall colour you have there too - I reminds me of the soothing, smooth colour of brown eggs. - G
